ANOTHER EXPOSURE PROMISED

Sir Charles Topper Under Fire.
OTTAWA, Ont, July q. = The an
nouncement that q messenger in the
House of Commons named Bell has en-
tered action against Sir Charles Upper,
minister of finance, on behalf of his
wife, for detective work she performed
for Sir Charles, is causing a great sensa-
ton here. Bell said yesterday that Sir
Charles, having charged him with at.
tempted blackmail, he is now publishing
a pamphlet in which he intends to show
up the character of Sir Charles and a
member of Parliament named Coly B.,
who were at one time boarders in his
house. The pamphlet will be published
in three weeks. He says that in point
of sensation it will excel the late expos
uIes given to the public in one of the
London journals.

ial from Duluth informing us that
Martin A. Foran, one of the candidates

yesterday. In an interview regarding
the political situation in Ohio Mr. Foran
is quoted as saying

II the labor ticket already placed in the

Gratis cannot hope to win. At the last
election in Cincinnati the Republicans
polled IL 900 votes, the Labor ticket 49,,
100 and the Democrats 1900. This il a

laboring men stick to their ticket the
Republicans would easily win. Powell

ROBERT LINCOLN is being widely talked
as candidate to head the Republican
National ticket in 1888. Mr.. Lincoln
would doubtless make an admirable
candidate. Besides being the son Of
one of the best and noblest men that
ever graced the Presidential Mansion
he is gentleman of wide public infor,
nation, man of brain and education
an honest, fearless, outspoken advocate
of Republican principles, and altogether
just the kind of n man whom the people
love to honor. If the Republican party
should cast its fortunes upon Robert
Linooln's shoulders, he would carry it tc
a grand victory.

be removed expecting thereby to gel
up boom that will help them
to unload at big profit. They
will have more of that land, al
many names more appear on the peti
tons as legal voters than live in the en-

sonal ffiend of the President is engineer
ing the scheme, presuming upon his per
sonal acquaintance and influence to pull
it through. Change, if made, would put
the land Office at one side of the district
where land is all proved up, and would
cause settlers to travel fifty miles further
to transact business, and cost them il

needless expense.
